Frost Protection

Abstract

The variation of the first and the last frost date is due to differences in elevation, density of population and several other factor, including a variation in temperature from year to year. All these variations make it more difficult to protect plants. To adequately protect your plants from frost damage you need to understand cold weather; how plants respond to cold; how heat is transferred; how to prevent frost damage; symptoms of frost damage and how to care for plants that have been damaged by frost.
